I'm interested to know whether or not people are trying to make some money out of the rising price of Bitcoin.  It sounds like an easy enough idea; buy some BTC, wait a bit, check to see the price has gone up and then sell it when it looks like it's reached the turning point in value.

So how many of you are planning to make a bit of money out of this?  Or are you interested in just investing money in Bitcoin for its advantages like P2P payments with no governing bodies?

Please tell me what, and if possible; why.

If you're an other I'd also love to hear exactly what Bitcoin is as an investment to you, or not.
